Italian Pasta Salad w/ Kielbasa Turkey Sausage

Dinner Tonight: Italian Pasta Salad w/ Kielbasa Turkey Sausage






For Breakfast this morning I had some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns (sprinkled with Sargento Shredded Cheddar Cheese), 1 Fried Egg, 2 slices of toasted Klosterman Wheat Bread, and it wouldn't be complete without my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. We had a lot of rain overnight and through out the day, warm though at 64 degrees. We were even under a Tornado warning toward the late afternoon! December and Tornado warnings aren't a regular occurrence around here. Finished up some laundry and did some house cleaning for my day. For dinner tonight a personal favorite, Italian Pasta Salad w/ Kielbasa Turkey Sausage.




Then for the Turkey Sausage I used Butterball Kielbasa Turkey Sausage. I normally use the
Butterball Everyday Smoked Turkey Sausage but while at Meijer the other day I seen that they had the Kielbasa in stock so I grabbed a package of that. I took 1 i/2 of the Sausages and cut it in to bite size pieces. I took a medium size skillet and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray. Added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. When the skillet was heated up I added the Turkey Sausage pieces. I cooked them about 12 minutes, stirring them frequently until browned and heated through.




Then to go with the Sausage I had prepared some Italian Pasta Salad, made about noon today. A

Light and tasty dish that includes Ronzoni Garden Delight Tri Color Rotini Pasta, Black Olives, Green Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Anchovies, Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing, McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and topped with fresh Shaved Parmesan Cheese. Boiled the Pasta according to the box and added all the ingredients and tossed until well mixed. Then refrigerated until ready to use.







Added the Pasta Salad to a bowl and topped it with the sliced Turkey Sausage, and chowed down!
The Pasta Salad and Sausage are a perfect combination. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Baked Italian Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Baked Italian Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries




We have another miserable day out there again! It rained overnight and all it did was make it that
much more humid. Hopefully it's the last day of the high humidity, still hot but without this humidity. Not feeling up to par today. Went to bed last night and I wasn't feeling all that good and this morning awoke with a headache and upset stomach. Took it easy today and didn't do a lot of anything but rest. For dinner tonight I prepared a Baked Italian Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.





To make this bad boy of Baked Hoagies I'll need the following; 2 slices of Sargento Ultra Thin
Provolone Cheese, Private Selection Old World Prosciutto, Boar's Head Honey Smoked Ham, Boar's Head Sandwich Style Pepperoni, Kraft Lite Zesty Italian Dressing, and all on a Perfection Deli Mini Wheat Sub Bun.




To prepare it I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. Started with the bottom half of the Bun and layered the ingredients; Provolone Cheese, Prosciutto, Ham, and Pepperoni. I then took the Italian Dressing and lightly poured the Dressing over top everything. I didn't add the top half of the Mini Sub Bun until after it baked. I used a small foil lined cookie sheet and placed the Hoagie and the top half of the Bun on it. I then baked it until the Provolone was starting to melt and the other ingredients heated through. We have a winner! The Italian Dressing made this a perfect Hoagie. Along with the 3 meats I used and Provolone Cheese, it was delicious!




As the Hoagie was baking I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, seasoned them with Sea salt and Ground black Pepper. Had a side of Hunt's Ketchup for dipping the Fries. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.






Boar's Head Sandwich Style Pepperoni

Natural spices combined with select cuts of pork and beef give this salami a rich, full-flavored taste.

A perfect accompaniment to any hero sandwich.
